>sword. Great and broad, it definetly is. The "sword" part, I'm not so sure about...looks like some sort of machete with a cross-bar. But, on the other hand, Hellboy grabbed something from a statue, in the first movie, so hey.
And, point taken vis-a-vis the original post, indeed. There is a difference between "broadsword" and "broad sword".
Incidentally, that's also where "broadsword" originates from, in proper usage. "Sword broader than a rapier".
